Hi there,
I currently have a 20 gal tank with 5 neons, 6 pristella tetras, and 3 danios. i also have a male orangel flash cacuotoide. i did have a female with him but has since died about 2 weeks ago. my question is feeding. the cichlid doesn't stand a chance against the other when it comes to fish. i feed it new life spectrum flake foods as well as frozen foods. it does get some of the food but no all the time. now i noticed that the cichlid hardly comes out now, even during feeding. in fact it never comes out. i'm always having to search for it. my water conditions are fine with ammonia at 0 nitrites at 0 and nitrates at about 20. am i doing something wrong?
